161: Spirit-Nourishing Pill

Golden Core Stage Steward Miao looked at the Storage Pouch in his hand; he was all too familiar with this item.

Just two days ago, he had felt heartbroken for quite a while because of this matter.

After all, he hadn't managed to get his hands on it!

As it turned out, encountering it again now, he didn't know if it was fate?

Or good luck?

At this moment, everyone turned their gazes toward him, and he could only nod seriously.

The Auctioneer on stage, seeing that Golden Core Stage Steward Miao had confirmed it.

Smiled and continued the auction: "Is there anyone else bidding?"

"This Senior has already verified his assets, confirming he has 3 million Spirit Stones!"

As soon as her voice fell, the sound of a teacup shattering came again from the private room that had questioned him earlier.

"How could he possibly have 3 million?"

However, no one paid any more attention to him, and all gazes fell upon Gu Changan.

The other Loose Cultivators in the hall also let out gasps from time to time, along with the sound of swallowing saliva.

It was imaginable that 3 million Spirit Stones had stimulated them.

At this moment, an elder voice came from the second-floor private room on the right: "3.2 million Spirit Stones!"

"I desire this sword pellet very much!"

"I wonder if you all could show some face?"

"If it exceeds this price, I will not bid further!"

To maintain his tough persona, Gu Changan bid directly: "3.5 million Spirit Stones!"

Before his voice faded, gasps were heard in the venue again.

All gazes fell upon Gu Changan.

Gu Changan ignored this and, bearing the pressure, stared at the Auctioneer on stage.

The Auctioneer was also in high spirits: "Fellow Daoists!"

"Today's highest-priced lot has been produced!"

"It is this sword pellet embryo, already at 3.5 million Spirit Stones!"

"Fellow Daoists, is there anyone else who wants it?"

"Bid enthusiastically, it would be a pity to miss this opportunity!"

"Who knows when you'll be able to find such a good sword pellet again!"

"It has to be crafted into a sword pellet, and it has to be outer-space meteorite iron; how can so many conditions be met?"

Several people in the private rooms were almost persuaded.

But then they thought about it; this sword pellet was originally worth 3 million Spirit Stones, and now it was already 500,000 Spirit Stones higher.

Besides, this sword pellet was still just a sword pellet embryo!

Only after it becomes a Magic Treasure will it have such great power.

It was very unwise to increase the bid now.

However, everyone's gaze fell upon Gu Changan, who stood isolated in the hall.

They just wondered if this Loose Cultivator could hold onto this treasure?

Therefore, no one increased their bid.

Tacitly, they waited for the auction to end to see what would happen.

Gu Changan bid aggressively, which was exactly the effect he wanted.

He didn't care about those 500,000 Spirit Stones, but if someone else won the bid.

Then he wouldn't know where to find them!

After all, others had influence and a Family; if they transferred it, he wouldn't be able to find it.

The Auctioneer on stage kept enticing everyone.

But everyone was quite calm!

Auctioneer: "3.5 million, first time!"

"3.5 million, second time!"

"3.5 million, third time!"

"Congratulations to this Senior off-stage for winning the sword pellet embryo!"

"Please have the Steward nearby handle the transaction!"

Hearing this, Gu Changan finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

However, he appeared calm and unmoved, taking out 5 more Storage Pouches from his bosom, each containing 100,000 Spirit Stones.

Gu Changan handed them casually to the Golden Core Stage Steward Miao beside him.

Golden Core Stage Steward Miao opened each Storage Pouch, glanced at it, and then silently put everything away.

Subsequently, he handed the sandalwood box containing the sword pellet embryo to Gu Changan.

Gu Changan casually put it into his Storage Pouch.

He waited calmly and composedly for the next auction items.

The Auctioneer on stage took the opportunity to bring out the next lot.

After the red cloth on it was lifted, it was truly a medicine bottle this time.

However, everyone was still curious about what was inside.

The Auctioneer on stage began to introduce: "The fourth-to-last lot is the spirit nurturing pill needed for Golden Core Stage Cultivation!"

"This type of Medicinal Pill comes in bottles of 10, all of Low Grade level!"

"Each one is worth 100,000 Spirit Stones, so the starting price is 1 million Spirit Stones!"

The Foundation Establishment Stage and Qi Refining Stage Cultivators present didn't feel much, just thinking this Medicinal Pill was very expensive!

However, the Golden Core Stage Cultivators in the private rooms, including Gu Changan in the hall, all looked at the medicine bottle in the Auctioneer's hand with eager eyes.

With it, one could Cultivate quickly; after all, Spiritual Qi was relatively scarce now!

Gu Changan's eyes were eager because, as long as he possessed one spirit nurturing pill, he would have a continuous supply of spirit nurturing pills!

He must win it!

A voice kept echoing in Gu Changan's heart.

The Golden Core Cultivators in the private rooms had already started competing.

The left side bid 1.2 million Spirit Stones.

The private room on the right immediately followed up with 1.3 million Spirit Stones.

Gu Changan, however, was thinking about what he should take out this time?

He possessed 2.29 million Spirit Stones; subtracting the 500,000 Spirit Stones from just now, he had 1.79 million Spirit Stones left.

If it didn't exceed this amount, he would settle with Spirit Stones.

If it exceeded it, he would just give another drop of golden marrow jade milk!

Gu Changan bid directly: "1.5 million Spirit Stones!"

At this moment, the competition in the private rooms went silent.

Everyone thought this Loose Cultivator was too rich?

It seemed he wasn't a Loose Cultivator at all; the people in the private rooms were!

The Golden Core Stage Cultivator who had been outbid earlier jumped out again.

"Verify assets!"

"Verify his assets for me!"

"I don't believe he still has 1.5 million Spirit Stones!"

Gu Changan let out a cold laugh, the sound spreading throughout the entire hall, including the several floors of private rooms on both sides.

"I don't know how you Cultivate?"

"Can you even reach the Golden Core Stage with such a bad brain?"

"I possess a 3.5 million sword pellet embryo, why can't I bid?"

"Or are you saying my sword pellet embryo is not worth 3.5 million at all?"

At this moment, everyone in the hall also realized.

"That's right! He bought the sword pellet embryo with a 3.5 million treasure!"

"As long as the sword pellet embryo is in his hands, he can just sell it back out!"

"Isn't it the same?"

"Even if it can't be worth 3.5 million Spirit Stones, can't it be worth 2.5 million Spirit Stones?"

Everyone understood this key point and burst into laughter.

However, the Qi Refining Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators in the hall suddenly stopped laughing.

Because they remembered that the person they were mocking was a Golden Core Stage Cultivator!

They actually dared to mock a Golden Core Stage Cultivator?

That was truly courting death!

Sure enough, the Golden Core Stage Cultivator who had been clamoring for asset verification also figured out the key point.

He was just jealous before that Gu Changan actually had so many Spirit Stones.

He was just clamoring randomly to embarrass Gu Changan.

As a result, he had embarrassed himself!

He saw his massive Divine Sense press down on those who were still mocking him in the hall.

Instantly, all the Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators and Qi Refining Stage Cultivators in the hall were swaying and falling over.

The Auctioneer on stage immediately spoke up to stop him: "Fellow Daoist! Please do not attack others! ~"

"During the auction, please abide by the order of the auction."

After speaking, she looked at the Steward nearby, who immediately understood and walked towards that private room.
